This article is garbage. The 'psychedelic herb salvia' is a misnomer, or, more likely, showing the author's ignorance (and/or helping sensationalise the story).
'Salvia' is nothing more or less than good old salvia officianalis, i.e. common sage, such as you use in stuffing a T-Day turkey.
Almost surely, the herb that the twit used was salvia divinorum, which has psychoactive properties for SOME individuals. To omit the descriptor of 'salvia' is either sheer ignorance or outright journalistic (and I use that term very loosely) malfeasance.
It is simply a common abbreviation, the use of which as opposed to the full species name is of no importance whatsoever. Everyone knows we are not talking about turkey stuffing.
Salvia divinorum, not Salvia officianalis
